Description

Jun Isazaki is a Living National Treasure for Bizen ware. (The fifth person for Bizen ware)
He fires his works using a straight tunnel kiln called an "Anagama."
The flames of the Anagama kiln blow into the back of the kiln all at once.
The fired pieces feature brown or white gradations over a bright red base.
This beer glass was fired in December 2021.
It is rare among his beer glasses to have such an intense fire pattern.
The natural glaze is very powerful, gathering and charring like black lava.

He graduated from Okayama University in 1959.
He was designated as a Living National Treasure in 2004.
